Detectives theorise that the man’s body was dumped by his cronies following the robbery of a gas station, bar, lottery outlet and restaurant in Cross Keys.

During that robbery, a licensed firearm holder challenged a group of gunmen, one of which was shot and injured before fleeing the area.

The licensed firearm holder was also shot and taken to hospital for treatment.

The suspects are reportedly linked to robberies in Cross Keys and Knockpatrick.
